I mean, it's trivial to automate the removal of user accounts, user data and the like. I'm EDU, so I've got until September to get this straightened out. However, I and everyone else has been forced into trying to avoid this in automated workflows (because all good things got to end right?) I can't say that I've figured it out for my environment yet. I don't think that this has anything to do with the naming issue as the name gets wiped along with the OS, but I want to make sure we're understanding everything correctly. Perhaps the machines autorun data has "Image Automatically" the next time Casper Imaging is run, checked. Are you SURE that this pre-stage is running (the second one)? I mean, I'm sure you've set up a pre-stage, but a pre-stage isn't supposed to work on computers with existing JSS records.That should solve your issue without changing your process, and it's pretty simple. These can then be re-propagated to the computer name. Keep using this process and merely run Tugboat to repopulate the proper names in the JSS (from a pre-existing CSV).This is updating the JSS record with the generic name, and that's a bummer. That way the process would be completely automatic and no action would be needed to refresh these machines again the second time.įair enough: So the OS is getting laid down and the unit re-enrolled.
Jamf pro prestage enrollment update#
This process would work perfectly if I could get the name to update before it changes it on the JSS. I have a script that runs to change the name back to what it is on the JSS but the name is incorrect before that ever happens. The computer stays correct in jamf until right after the prestage runs then it gets changed back to iMac or Macbook the OS default and this change is then somehow updated to the JSS. This actually works for everything but the name of the computer.

This one it keeps its room assignment and its department information. After a computer had gone through the first prestage I move it to this new one.
Jamf pro prestage enrollment install#
So this work flow we wipe the machines to bare metal and install the OS again fresh from apple or recovery partition. This process works perfectly.Įvery semester or so we refresh these machines. This in in an education environment and this first presage installs all the default software while the room selection adds all the room specific software for that lab.


This process I have a script that prompts for the name and then one that adds it to a room. New out of the box system fresh OS from apple.
